When two hockey pucks slide and collide on ice, they follow the formulas of momentum and energy conservation. If one or both pucks spin while they slide, can you still use the same formulas discussed in the pre-lab section? Consider a table pool game as well.

Question

When two hockey pucks slide and collide on ice, they follow the formulas of momentum and energy conservation. If one or both pucks spin while they slide, can you still use the same formulas discussed in the pre-lab section? Consider a table pool game as well.

formulas: 

M1v1i + M2v2i = M1v1f + M2v2f

(1/2)M1v12 + (1/2)M2v22 = (1/2)M1v1f2 + (1/2)M2v2f2
